La Ruptura
A Los Viñateros Bravos · Itata, Chile
La Ruptura comes from a single 4-acre plot. Grapes have been grown here in this coastal region for centuries, and this plot has original plantings of 170-year-old muscat.
The wine has a great concentration with beautiful floral and white peach muscat aromas but it is incredibly energetic on the palate with mouth-watering acidity and mineral salinity.
